Provide a CentOS installer

[marcuswhybrow]

It looks like CentOS is a common operating system for Minecrafters. I've heard of a few difficulties involved in installing and using MSM on this OS, and providing a CentOS specific installer might be a useful addition.

The main issue (as ever) is wget flags which were required, but not supplied.

Best way to solve this is to set up a repository and install through Yum.
Updates is as easy, and removal is a breeze. I'll look into how to solve
the repo-server easily once I'm in front of a computer.

Sounds like a good idea, I'm also interested in creating a debian package in the future, if anyone knows more about that.

I guess this was solved with the Red Hat installer?

[marcuswhybrow]

I suppose. Has anyone tested that assumption?

I have had no problems using the RedHat installer on CentOS

MSM can't update the packages on my system. Not sure what's wrong.

Here's the output after I run the Redhat install command:

@SullyTheUnusual - That's not an MSM issue, sorry! You're seeing it because MSM is running yum update before installing its own dependencies.

My best guess is that you're either running a server that has been converted from Oracle Linux to CentOS, or that you've got an Oracle Linux repository in your /etc/yum/sources.list or /etc/yum/sources.list.d/*. As it looks like /etc/oracle-release doesn't exist, I'm guessing the latter - In which case you need to change your yum sources to use the CentOS repositories.

If that still doesn't fix it, then try the CentOS community - They'll be able to provide better assistance!

I have CentOS 6.5 and the command line

wget -q http://git.io/lu0ULA -O /tmp/msm && bash /tmp/msm

yields no response, even with sudo and cron installed. Any suggestions? Thanks!

@j0n4h separate the two steps and see where it is failing. Is wget missing? is /tmp writable? Is /tmp/msm created? Can you run bash /tmp/msm separately?
